Tragedy in Willi: 5 Year Old Boy Fell From Balcony, Dies

Hatzolah Emergency crews in Williamsburg were called to a multi-family home yesterday evening, after a small child fell from a fifth-floor porch.

5 year-old Shimon Yisroel Meisels fell from the porch at 200 Wallabout Street and Lee Avenue, shortly before 8:00 P.M.

The child was in critical condition when taken by ambulance to Brooklyn hospital, but later succumbed to the injuries and passed away. Shimon Yisroel is the grandson of Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Meisels, Shopron Rav of Williamsburg. Sadly, Shimon Yisroel lost his mother two years ago from a terminal illness.
